#50 My Unassisted Waterbirth
Twyla (my 5th baby) was born on November 20, 2018 at 5:51am in an unassisted birth, waterbirth, freebirth...many names for what happened. Basically: I birthed her in our bathtub with no outside assistance or interference, whatsoever. No midwife. No OB. No doula. Just me, my husband, and our baby. This is our story.

#49 Counting catches and misses
Would you consider yourself a data-driven individual? Or are you more likely to just observe and “go with the flow”? Maybe you feel like the only way to do EC properly is to record every catch and miss. Maybe just the thought of keeping track of yet another thing with a little baby is overwhelming. In today’s episode I want to talk about how to avoid unnecessary pressure, stay focused on the real purpose of EC, and set you up for success.

Andrea Olson of Go Diaper Free explains elimination communication - the concept of pottying your baby, as early as birth - which is what people have done for all of human history and in today’s world where there are no diapers. She makes it easy to integrate EC into your modern lifestyle as a new parent, demystifies how to know your baby needs to go, how to take them to the toilet instead of primarily relying on the diaper, and makes EC approachable, accessible, and fun, for all parents...whether part-time, with or without diapers, and in any region of the world. Contrary to popular marketing messages, diapers are tools, not toilets, and babies are ALL born “ready” to use the toilet. Learn how to connect with your baby on this very natural level with Andrea’s expert guidance, and experience the freedom of a life without dependence upon diapers, a life without traumatic toilet training, a life where your baby gets a head start on developing motor skills, communication, and learning by prioritizing this age-appropriate skill (0-18 months). EC honors your baby’s dignity and makes parenting THAT much easier! Stop changing blowouts...and learn how to listen to your baby’s requests for good hygiene. Learn more at godiaperfree.com. (PS - Andrea also occasionally covers potty training, for those of you who find us after 18 months.)
